Following on from last weeks revelation by Wakefield Council leader Peter Box, who made known to the Wakefield Express the authority’s intention to back only one of the two proposed stadiums within its jurisdiction, Wakefield Trinity chairman Ted Richardson today confirmed the club are to put aside any talk of a potential ground share at Glasshoughton in Castleford and direct all their efforts into the development of the new stadium project just off Newmarket Lane in Stanley.
In a joint statement released in conjunction with the Wakefield and District Community Trust, Mr Richardson disclosed that ‘all parties – Wakefield Metropolitan District Council, Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, Wakefield and District Community Trust and York Court Properties Ltd are all in agreement that Newmarket is the ONLY stadium project that will carry the Wakefield name and that we will play in.’
